How much does it cost to make international will for my family. I live and work in Uganda with two properties and a few in Nigeria.
I was of the opinion that I do not need a will because all my properties are in the of my wife and myself. If there will be a will, how will this Will work out without hurting my wife?
Thanks.

Dear Zaria, we are a lawyer firm in Uganda and we can assist you with the legal issue raised. An international will is designed to be recognised in multiple countries which simplifies estate planning. It must be in writing and states that it is an international will signed by you and at least two witnesses. Sometimes depending on the complexity of the situation we advise if local wills are needed for specific countries. International wills are specifically established by the UNIDROIT Convention on the Form of International Will and both Uganda and Nigeria are not signatories thereto. We are therefore available to tailor for you the best choice in the circumstances.
